do we even do that? i mean i didn’t even know we did the first thing either, let alone the second thing… nonetheless, congratulations shanti, considering eskay’s numbers lately, that shit is some pro shit

congratulating people for shit like this = congratulating people on their birthdays; no accomplishments

The theme song to +The Sopranos+
plays in the key of life on my, mental piano
Got a strange way of seein life like
I’m Stevie Wonder with, beads under the doo-rag
Intuition is there even when my vision’s impaired, yeah
Knowin I can go, just switchin a spare
On the highway of life, nigga it’s sharp in my sight
Oh! Keen senses ever since I was a, teen on the benches
everytime somebody like Enus was mentioned
I would turn green, me, bein in the trenches
Him, livin adventureous not worryin about expenditures
I’m bravin temperatures below zero, no hero
No father figure, you gotta pardon a nigga
But I’m starvin my niggaz, and the weight loss in my figure
is startin to darken my heart, bout to get to my liver
Watch it my niggaz, I’m tryin to be calm but I’m gon’ get richer
through any means, with that thing that Malcolm palmed in the picture
Never read the Qu’ran or Islamic scriptures
Only psalms I read was on the arms of my niggaz
Tattooed so I carry on like I’m non-religious
Clap whoever stand between Shawn and figures
Niggaz, say it’s the dawn/Don but I’m superstitious
Shit is as dark as it’s been, nothin is goin as you predicted
I move with biscuits, stop the harder niggaz actin too suspicious
This is, food for thought, you do the dishes

I think 50 Cent would argue this but Def Jam has some things on deck, I heard. Now, originally I said this was a Jay-Z mixtape, but the rumor has changed. Iâ€™m getting now that there is a thing on deck called the â€œDef Jam Takeoverâ€ mixtape coming out early next year. This mixtape will serve as a promotional tool for the labelâ€™s upcoming tour. I hope that tour / mixtape includes Peedi, Freeway and Ghostface, who actually has a CD to promote.

@crazy 88
i think epmd will drop something. Buckwild said that D.I.T.C is coming out. Can’t wait for that. Joell Ortiz, Sean Price. LL i’m not concerned about…lol. Jada will probably drop if he’s on cash money, but that will be a horrible look for him though. Forget the solos though, we need a Lox album. That will put them back on the map more than anything.

SO SINCE THEY BUY THE SHIT, THE MARKET IS CATERED TO THEM

thats a way to look at it, and i dont diasagree, but i guess its crazy because we are the biggest consumers of things that dont appreciate in value, which would make you think we could pick up something to at least support our own, if were going to pissed it away anyway and we dont. Also Nas said it in one of his interviews its like the media constantly puts all the depreciable assets on a pedistil and we constantly fall into the propaganda trap, just my rant for the day

â€¦ JR Reid > JR Smith â€¦

i still dont see how he made it with three seconds left, but your right its good to see steph playin again, not a knicks fan, go bulls, but hate to see them just dwell down in the cellar

I DONT THINK WE SUPPORT OUR OWN SIMPLY BECAUSE OF THE CRAB IN A BARREL SYSTEM…IN A MORE COMPLEX WAY…ITS LIKE THE DICTIONARY, LOOK UP WHITE, AND LOOK UP BLACK…NOW TAKE BOTH THOSE DEFINITIONS AND APPLY THEM TO PRODUCTS SOLD BY BUISNESSES OWNED BY BLACK AND WHITE PEOPLE…ITS NOT OF THE SAME HIGH QUALITY…ITS NOT THE BEST! ITS NOT THE HIGH DOLLA ITEM! WHEN IT COMES TO BLACK CREATED PRODUCTS…ITS LIKE IF A BLACK PERSON STARTED A NEW CAR COMPANY…SIMILAR TO FORD, BLACK OWNED, BLACK DESIGNED, BLACK SALES PEOPLE…BLACK CARS…BLACK PEOPLE WOULD STILL GO AND BY THE FORD EXPEDITION. BECAUSE WHITE PRODUCTS ARE “TRUSTWORTHY AND RELIABLE.” THINK ABOUT THAT

he’s not letting go of the fact that he makes 50% of each album or something. oh and i have a theory for why game is on geffen, and renaming his fucking producers, yet he’s on a dre beat on the nas cd.

yeah, i agree with you to a point, and its sad but true, thats why i try to support our own as much as possible, but unfortunately we do dumb ass shit that makes that real hard, but i do understand exactly what your saying

aks about me

HAS JEEZY EVEN BEEN OUT A WEEK? MATTER FACT I AINT EVEM KNOW HE CAME OUT YET, I THOUGHT HE CAME OUT TODAY….HE GETS NO RADIO PLAY HERE…SUDDENLY THE FLAME WENT OUT ON HIS CANDLE….HIS VIDEO AINT EVEN BELIEVABLE…HES GARBAGE LIVE, AINT NO WAY IN HELL HE ROCKIN A PARTY LIKE THAT

Hey I was reading your post about whats going to happen in 07… That shit was funny but defintely on point…..

I can defeintely see that Summer Jam situation go down just like that… Where one of these south artists gets pissed cause the crowd is booin them and says some stupid shit like “fuck ny then” and that causeing a massive riot…. That shit would be crazy but I could actually see that happening…

jim is not makin that much off his cd…he has to pay for EVERYTHING right out of his pocket…what hes basically puttin out there for people to think is just like the lotterey yea they tell you you win lets say a mil….but what they discuss wit you after your on the news andeverything is that you have to pay taxes….so win the lotterery look good for the cameras…cameras go off now pay up!

alright whats goin on here in nahright…where everybody at….i bet the message board is up, and if it is thats fucked up eskay i aint get a password considering im on here everyday for the most part, and contribute to conversations….but, fuck it tho like fuck it tho

I’ve been waiting for the Skills “Rap Up”. Heard it here first. Again he delivered. This to me is hip-hop. The one line that stuck out to me was the, Flavor of Love bring NY back line. It was soooo true. Below the Mason-Dixon line we doing fine (even our garbage emcees). ? why does Skill only drop one hot track annually?

Bought “Hip-Hop Is Dead” this weekend (shout out to all the bootleggers on East Cap). Me and MaryJane got it in. It’s what I expected, nothing more nothing less…just Nas. To me it sounds like a mixture of all his work combined. I give it 4 out of 5 mics. I think I need more time to digest it like I did with “Streets Disciples”. But if you’re a true Nas fan you’ll appreciate it. Expecially the last track for the Beat is LA. That to me was vintage hip-hop. I reminisce.

I been keepin up with all of them since 03. He spits about what us lot actually think (why would a group of men with a fraction of the amount of money the mafia has try to behave like them by kissing each other on the lips. Ive seen all the godfathers, goodfellas, i dnt recall seein them kiss on the lips). dats diiiiirty

YO SKAY ,,WUS POPPIN MY DUDE Y.B.N. ,,,YOU ALREADY KNOW ITS THAT NIGGA NEW FROM THE BLOCK AND IM SPITTIN ,SO GO CHECK OUT MY MYSPACE ,,SEARCH FOR NEWMILLZ OR GO TO MUSIC SEARCH AND DO THE SAME NEWMILLZ FROM THE BUSY SELLIN ROCK GANG ,,YONKERS STAND UP CAUSE HERE I COME !!!!!!! IM THE HARDEST M.C. COMMING SO STAY TUNE AND DONT FORGET TO GO TO NEWMILLZ AT MYSPACE TO CHECK OUT THE LATEST MUSIC!!!!!!! HOLLA BACK SKAY ONE

Ahh yall niggas is really hatin hard on this nigga, everybody gotta play their own position… if makin one end of year rap up is that nigga position, let him play it. I done heared his rap ups since year 1 ya dig. when it gets to this time of year my mind knows to expect anotha. Unless u can do better stop talkin down on homie and pick him up at least he tryin do somethin real talk. And yall got the mind to talk bout supporting our own, first step “stop hatin”. Niggas request his shit all day on the radio evry year so he must be doin something right. Finally I am not a hater, Skillz crashed that hoe. (good 2 me)

Y’all who don’t know Skillz, but hate on him, hmmm….Anybody involved with hip hop knows Skillz cause he spends the whole year touring with people and ghostwriting your favorite rapper’s songs. If you really wanna know something good, do what the song says and goto myspace.com/yourghostwriter or myspace.com/skillz . For the guys who had no clue in this thread, Skillz been gettin screwed by the lables over the years since “From Where???” but he got “Million Dollar Backpack” coming out this summer on Koch (again, pay attention to the lyrics), and you can cop his last album “Confessions of a ghostwriter” online (search google), it got shelved by his last label so he did hid own distribution thing. Hmm…How can you feel bad for someone who tours all year. If you know anything about the music business, they sign you to a record deal and take your publishing (where your royalties come from), and give you pennies on the cd sales until you pay back the advance you spent on the new car and jewelry, and record the number of albums you signed for. This is why Jay knew which album he was quitting on, he had an 8 album deal. The artists really make money on tours, because they can get thousands per night on tour and the cd sales are pretty small til you get your first record deal over and get your publishing and production rights back. This is why you see the pattern. Artist signs deal, artist st arts label and signs artists to it. Unless you plan on doing a lot of touring, its easy for a artist to make money off others by signing them to record deals. Why you think 50 is raping the industry so hard for G-U-Not.
